 ARTICLE II 
 SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN 
 2.1
        Shares Subject to Plan. The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon grant, vesting or exercise of Awards under the Plan shall not exceed five million (5,000,000), subject to adjustment as
provided herein; provided, however, that in no event may the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon grant, vesting or exercise of Awards under the plan exceed ten percent (10%) of the Company’s outstanding Shares on a fully
diluted basis. The Shares issuable under the Plan may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. 
 2.2         Individual Limitations. 
 (a)         No more than two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares may be made subject to Options or SARs to a single individual in a single calendar year, subject
to adjustment as provided herein, and no more than two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares may be made subject to stock-based awards other than Options or SARs (including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units or Other Stock-Based Awards) to
a single individual in a single calendar year, in either case, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Determinations made in respect of the limitations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in a manner consistent with
Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 (b)         The maximum aggregate
number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan as a result of the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be five million (5,000,000) Shares, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Incentive Stock Options only may be granted to employees of
the Company or any Related Corporation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, taking into account
Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Related Corporation, the Options covering such additional Shares becoming exercisable in that year shall cease to be Incentive Stock Options and thereafter be
Non-Qualified Stock Options. For this purpose, the Fair Market Value of Shares subject to Options shall be determined as of the date the Options were granted. In reducing the number of Options treated as Incentive Stock Options to meet this $100,000
limit, the most recently granted Options shall be reduced first. 
 2.3
        Expired Awards and Other Rights. If any shares subject to an Award are forfeited, cancelled, exchanged or surrendered or if an Award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the
Participant, or if Shares are surrendered or withheld as payment of either the exercise price of an Award and/or withholding taxes in respect of an Award, the Shares with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture,
cancellation, exchange, surrender, withholding, termination or expiration, again be available for Awards under the Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in tandem with any other Award, such related Award shall be cancelled to the extent of
the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised and, notwithstanding the foregoing, such number of Shares shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

 2.4         Adjustments to Shares,
Awards. In the event that the Administrator shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Shares the Administrator shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to prevent dilution or
enlargement of Participants under the Plan to any or all of (i) the number and kind of Shares or other property (including cash) that may thereafter be issued in connection with Awards, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other property
(including cash) issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, (iii) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award; provided, that, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, such adjustment shall be made
in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code; and (iv) the performance goals applicable to outstanding Awards.

of a Participant to be granted an Award, the Administrator shall instruct the Secretary of the Company to issue the Award and may impose such conditions on the grant of the Option as it deems appropriate.

to any Participant to the extent that the grant of such Award could, at the time of grant or afterwards, impair the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code or result in a violation of any of the stock
ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended.

completes the term or partial term for which he or she was elected and in which the Shares of Director Restricted Stock were awarded. 
 (b)         Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of Shares of Director Restricted Stock to be issued pursuant to this Article VII shall be
reduced or eliminated to the extent that the issuance of such Shares of Director Restricted Stock would otherwise (i) enable the Independent Directors as a group to hold more than 10% of the outstanding Shares if such Shares of Director
Restricted Stock were fully vested; (ii) result in the Company being “closely-held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; (iii) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership
interests in a tenant of the property of the Company (or of the property of one or more partnerships in which the Company is a partner), within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code; (iv) result in a violation of any of the stock
ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended; or (v) cause, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, the Company to fail to qualify (or create, in the opinion of counsel to the
Company, a risk that the Company would no longer qualify) as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code. 
 (c)         Except as provided otherwise in this Plan, the Director Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the
Restricted Stock.

exchanges on which the Shares are then listed;

 ARTICLE XI 
 ADMINISTRATION 
 11.1       Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or, if the Board so delegates its authority, by the Compensation Committee. If the Board administers
the Plan, all references herein to the “Administrator” shall be references to the Board. If the Compensation Committee is appointed to administer the Plan, all references herein to the “Administrator” shall be references to the
Compensation Committee. The Administrator shall have the authority in its absolute discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either
specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the Eligible Individuals to whom and the time or times at which Awards
shall be granted; to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted, the number of Shares to which an Award may relate and the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria relating to any Award; to accelerate the vesting of any
Award at any time; and to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered; to make adjustments in 
  

 14 








 
the terms and conditions of, and the performance goals (if any) included in, Awards; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the Award Agreements (which need not be identical for each Participant); and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Board, the Compensation Committee nor their respective delegates
shall have the authority to reprice (or cancel and regrant) any Option or, if applicable, other Award at a lower exercise, grant or purchase price without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s stockholders. 
 In addition, an Award shall not be granted, become vested, be exercised or paid if, in the sole and absolute discretion of
the Administrator, the grant, vesting, exercise or payment of such Award could result in any of the following: 
 (a)         the Participant’s or any other person’s ownership of Shares being in violation of any of the stock ownership and transfer restrictions imposed under the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation, as amended; 
 (b)         the Shares shall be deemed
not to be transferable within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code; 
 (c)
        income to the Company or any other result that could impair the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of the Code. 
 11.2       Duties and Powers of Administrator. The Administrator may appoint a chairperson and
a secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings. All determinations of the Administrator shall be made by a majority of its members either present
in person or participating by conference telephone at a meeting or by written consent. The Administrator may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more agents such administrative duties as it may deem advisable, and the Administrator
or any person to whom it has delegated duties as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Administrator or such person may have under the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations
of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all persons, including but not limited to the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or any Participant (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant)
and any stockholder. 
 11.3       Professional Assistance; Good Faith
Actions. The Administrator may employ attorneys, consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, or other persons. The Administrator, the Company and the Company’s officers shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any
such persons. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Administrator in good faith shall be final and binding upon all Participants, the Company, stockholders and all other interested persons. No members of the
Administrator shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan and all members of the Administrator and shall be fully protected by the Company in respect of any such action,
determination or interpretation. 
  

 15 








 11.4       Delegation of Authority to Grant
Awards. The Administrator may, but need not, delegate from time to time to a committee consisting of one or more of the Company’s officers authority to grant Awards under the Plan to Eligible Individuals; provided, however, that
each such Eligible Individual must be an individual other than an “officer,” “director” or “beneficial owner of more than ten per cent of any class of any equity security” of the Company within the meaning of each such
term as it is used under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Administrator specifies at the time of such delegation of authority and may be rescinded at any time
by the Administrator. At all times, any subcommittee appointed under this Section 11.4 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Administrator. 
 ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
 12.1       Rights as Stockholders. Except as determined by the Administrator and set forth in
an Award Agreement, the holders of Awards shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, stockholders of the Company in respect of any Shares subject to an Award unless and until such Shares have been issued by the Company to such
holders. 
 12.2       Not Transferable. Awards granted under the Plan may not be
sold, pledged, assigned, or transferred in any manner other than by will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. No Award holder shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors-in-interest
or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or
any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence. 
 During the lifetime of the Participant, only he or she may exercise an Option or SAR (or any portion thereof) granted to him
or her under the Plan. After the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option or SAR may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his or her
personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 12.3       No Right to Employment or Other Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement hereunder shall (i) confer upon any
Participant any right to (a) continue in the employ of his or her Employer or to provide services to the Company, or (b) receive any severance pay from the Company or his or her Employer, or (ii) interfere with or restrict in any way
the rights of the Company or his or her Employer, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the services of any Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause. 
 12.4       Term of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall automatically
expire and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date on which it was adopted 
  

 16 








 
by the Company. The expiration or other termination of the Plan shall have no adverse affect on any Awards that are outstanding on the date of such expiration or other termination. 
 12.5       Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. The Plan may be wholly or
partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board; provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amendment that requires stockholder approval in order
for the Plan to continue to comply with applicable law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, suspension or termination of
the Plan shall, without the consent of the holder of an Award, alter or impair any rights or obligations under such Award theretofore granted or awarded unless the Award Agreement itself otherwise expressly so provides, and no amendment shall be
made that could jeopardize the status of the Company as a real estate investment trust under the Code. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 
 12.6       Change in Control and Other Corporate Events. 
 (a)         Subject to Section 12.6(b), in the event of any Change in Control
or other transaction or event described in Section 2.4 or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in
applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, the Administrator is hereby authorized to any action with respect to Awards at such time and on such terms and conditions as the Administrator determines in its absolute direction to be
desirable, which action(s) may include, without limitation: 
      (i)
          a determination that the Company shall pay to the holder of any Award, in consideration for the cancellation of such Award, an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been
attained upon the vesting or exercise of such Award had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested, as applicable, or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator; 
      (ii)          a determination that Awards cannot
vest, be exercised or become payable after such event; 
      (iii)
        a determination that all or some Awards shall become immediately vested and/or exercisable either prior to or as of such event, or that for a specified period of time prior to transaction or event, an
Option or SAR shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby; 
      (iv)
        a determination that upon such event, such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock
of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of Shares or other property and prices which are the subject of such Award; or 
  

 17 








      (v)
          a determination to make adjustments to Awards consistent with Section 2.4. 
 (b)         With respect to Awards, no adjustment or action described in this Section 12.6 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the
extent that such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with
such exemptive conditions. The number of Shares subject to any Option shall always be rounded to the next whole number. 
 12.7       Approval of Plan by Stockholders. This Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company’s stockholders following the Board’s initial adoption of
the Plan. Awards may be granted prior to such stockholder approval, provided, that no Award shall become vested or exercisable prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the stockholders and, provided further, that, if such
approval has not been obtained within 12 months following the date of adoption of the Plan, all Awards previously granted under the Plan shall thereupon be cancelled and shall automatically become null and void. 
 12.8       Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require of each Participant
satisfaction of the Company’s withholding obligations under federal, state or local tax law with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award, and the Company may defer such issuance, vesting, exercise or payment unless
indemnified to its satisfaction. The Administrator shall provide in the applicable Award Agreement the acceptable methods of satisfying such withholding obligations, which may include: (i) deducting such amounts from other compensation
otherwise payable to the Participant; (ii) having Shares otherwise issuable hereunder withheld, the Fair Market Value of which is sufficient to satisfy the Participant’s minimum estimated tax obligations associated with the transaction;
(iii) tendering back to the Company previously acquired Shares or (iv) a combination of the foregoing. 
 12.9       Forfeiture Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards granted under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in the
terms of an Award Agreement, or by separate written instrument, that (i) any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by an Participant upon the receipt or exercise of the Option, or upon the receipt or
resale of any Shares underlying such Award, must be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any outstanding portion of such Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (a) a Termination of Service occurs prior
to a specified date, or within a specified time period following receipt or exercise of the Award, or (b) the Participant, at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with his or her Employer or the
Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of his or her Employer or the Company, as may be further defined from time to time by the Administrator. 
 12.10     Limitations Applicable to Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted to any individual who is
then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3) that are requirements
for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable 
  

 18 








 
law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule. 
 12.11     Effect of Plan Upon Other Equity and Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other equity- or cash-based compensation or
incentive plans in effect for the Company from time to time. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company (i) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for employees of the Company, the Manager or
the Advisor, or (ii) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including, but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection
with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association. 
 12.12     Section 83(b) Election Prohibited. No Participant may make an election under
Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to any Award granted under the Plan without the Company’s consent. 
 12.13     Compliance with Laws. This Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan, the issuance and delivery of Shares, and the payment of money or other consideration allowable under the Plan or under Awards
granted hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, state and federal securities laws and federal margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing,
regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Board, the Compensation Committee or the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such
restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Board, the Compensation Committee or the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure
compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. 
 12.14     Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for
interpretation or construction of the Plan. 
 12.15     Governing Law. This Plan and any
agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 
 12.16     Code Section 409A. 
 (a)         The Award Agreement for any Award that the Administrator reasonably determines to constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under
Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Plan”), and the provisions of the Plan applicable to that Award, shall be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and the
Administrator, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, may amend any Award Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the

  

 19 








 
extent that the Administrator determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b)         If any Award constitutes a Section 409A Plan, then the Award shall
be subject to the following additional requirements, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code: 
     (i)           Payments under the Section 409A Plan may not be made earlier than the first to occur of (u) the
Participant’s “separation from service”, (v) the date the Participant becomes “disabled”, (w) the Participant’s death, (x) a “specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule)” specified in the
Award Agreement at the date of the deferral of such compensation, (y) a “change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, or (z) the
occurrence of an “unforeseeble emergency”; 
     (ii)
         The time or schedule for any payment of the deferred compensation may not be accelerated, except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations or other applicable guidance issued by
the Internal Revenue Service; 
     (iii)
        Any elections with respect to the deferral of such compensation or the time and form of distribution of such deferred compensation shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A(a)(4) of the
Code; and 
     (iv)         In the case of any
Participant who is “specified employee”, a distribution on account of a “separation from service” may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of the Participant’s “separation from service”
(or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death). 
 For purposes of the foregoing, the terms in quotations shall have
the same meanings as those terms have for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied in such manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any requirements of
Section 409A of the Code that are applicable to the Award. 
 (c)
        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to any Participant or Beneficiary that any Awards made pursuant to this Plan are exempt from, or satisfy, the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Participant or any Beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Participant or any Beneficiary
may incur in the event that any provision of this Plan, or any Award Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.
